GARDEN MONTHLY 
Vol. 1, No. 6 July, 1941 
This departure from our regular form was considered advisable be- 
cause of the many items of importance to the garden lover that we 
have to offer this month. The items presented in this folder are garden 
aristocrats of such calibre as to transcend the importance of every- 
thing else at this time of the year. 
This bulletin will also serve as a reminder that it is time to plant 
the items that are featured. 
Do not neglect the sowing of the annuals that are presented here, 
and remember that August to October is the time to make a straw- 
berry bed. 
Peonies must be planted as early as possible this fall and dur pre- 
sentation of Bearded Iris is the best that we have made in years. 
Another reminder that we can make at this time is to order your 
spring flowering bulbs such as Tulips, Crocus, Hyacinths, etc. early. 
We have contracted for huge quantities, but in these parlous times 
one never knows what to expect. 
We hope that your Schling garden is better than ever this year. 
Respectfully yours,

PEONIES - For Best Results Plant Early 
It is important to plant Peonies early so that the roots may begin a 
strong growth before hard winter sets in. While late planted Peonies 
produce very nicely, the difference between early and late planting is 
quite marked. Our tip is to plant as early in September as possible.
